Mouse problem again!.

[sprids]

I am sitting here with a metal pole hitting the ceiling because all I can hear is running around and paper being ripped in the loft! This has been a constent problem for a couple of months now! We had birds in the loft and bats! But mice have got to be the worst! they have moved from our shed to the loft!

It 's happening here too...........at night and really annoying as it wakes me up!
Trap out and loaded with chocolate.

You don't want chocolate! You want peanut butter! they love the stuff! I might just have to dig out the traps! Or borrow next doors Pest control gun But I might just stick to the traps.

Our mice love chocolate............They seek it out if I leave any out. Now I like both chocolate and peanut butter!!

Haha! I put a trap up a day ago! didn't manage to get up there tonight! so will have to go up there in the morning and find out!

Since i put the traps up there last week I have managed to catch 3 mice! Since then it has got really quiet but hey lets touch wood to make sure it stays that way!!

I had problems with mice for about 4-5 years running when i moved into the house i am currently in now. I tried all the traps, baits etc, even an electrical one, but they seemed to just keep on coming back. I read on the net that peppermint or spearmint essential oil would deter them and thought i had nothing to lose by trying. In a used washing up liquid bottle, i mixed about 20 - 30 drops of peppermint oil (must be essential oil) with a small amount of vodka and filled up with water and squirted around the edge of the garden, under kitchen cupboards i placed a few drops on cotton wool balls and placed them underneath. Very happy to say i havent seen a mouse since

Although, i do have to keep squirting the mixture round the garden nearly every week in summer but its not so bad in the winter.

Hope this helps
